A knitted shade sail that blocks a high proportion of UV while letting hot air escape through the weave. That airflow is the reason the space underneath stays cooler than it would under solid fabric, which traps heat against the ground.

Key features

Breathable knitted mesh rather than solid fabric
Reinforced corners with stainless D-rings
Triangular shape for tensioning between three points
Water passes through, so no pooling

Materials

Knitted HDPE mesh with reinforced edge binding.

Intended use

Shading patios, play areas, and seating from overhead sun. Suits anchoring between walls, posts, and mature trees.

Assembly

Tension between three fixed anchor points. The sail must be pulled taut — a slack sail flaps and wears at the corners.

Care

Take down in high wind and over winter. Hose off and dry before storing.

What's included

Shade sail with corner D-rings and short tensioning ropes.

Not included

Posts, wall anchors, turnbuckles, and shade sail hardware kits are sold separately. It is not waterproof and is not designed to shelter from rain.
